Tax value
Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, September 2025.
Gross assessed value (the county assessor's market value-in-use, trended every year), not a market estimate. Farmland is assessed by the state's base-rate formula, well below what farmland sells for.
Estimate
Rough estimate: based on typical prices per acre for land this size in LaPorte and nearby counties. Not tested to our accuracy standard. Half of past estimates were within ±45% (measured across nearby counties); the range covers about 8 in 10. Land only; any building is not included.
